About Denise
Denise Snyder is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 31 years of experience helping people who are stressed, anxious, depressed, or struggling with relationship and anger issues. She practices in New York and supports those dealing with low self-esteem, body image concerns, and mood challenges. Denise aims to create a respectful, grounded space where people feel heard and can start making changes.
Her background includes work across mental health services, the school system, an Employee Assistance Program, an in-patient alcohol rehabilitation program, and the foster care system.
How Denise works
Those varied settings shaped a practical approach to common life struggles and crises. She draws on experience helping people facing loss, hospice and end-of-life issues, postpartum depression, and trauma-related symptoms. Denise uses several evidence-based therapeutic techniques, including solution-focused work and cognitive behavioral methods, alongside family systems ideas when appropriate.
She emphasizes meeting people where they are and building a trusting relationship before moving into change work. The focus is on clear, solvable steps rather than long lists of theory. She understands that making changes can feel uncomfortable and models that willingness through her own life as a spouse and parent.
Denise encourages clients to view themselves as experts in their own story and to use their strengths in the healing process. Practical goals and steady progress are central to sessions. Outside of work she enjoys outdoor activities like kayaking and hiking, is an avid reader, and shares her home with two rescue dogs including a retired greyhound.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Denise offers work grounded in well-established, evidence-based techniques. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and address eating-related concerns. Solution-focused methods concentrate on small, practical steps and building on what already works to move toward concrete goals.She uses family systems ideas when patterns between people affect an individual's wellbeing, helping clients see interaction patterns and make different choices. Determining which approach fits best is a collaborative process - Denise will discuss options, invite feedback, and adjust the plan based on goals and what feels most useful to the client.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for in-depth sessions that benefit from face-to-face interaction, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or comfort with being on camera is limited. Live chat or text messaging suits brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or times when typing feels more manageable. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep consistent progress over time.
